Day 34 - Wednesday, August 9, 2017

Shamrock Village Inn, Dalton, MA to Bascom Lodge (Mt Greylock Summit) - 17.2 Miles

Weather continues to be nice.  Air is cool and partly sunny.  It was a surprisely easy hike from Dalton to the Summit of Greylock.  A gradual climb from Cheshire, MA.  Today was a pig out day.   "Jax's Dad" and I eat in town before leaving, we eat breakfast #2 in Cheshire at Dunkin Donut, we ate lunch #1 on the way up the mountain.  We ate lunch # 2 at trail magic in the park lot below the summit and had our normal early dinner with homemade ice cream for the lodge.   I estimate I have consumed 4,000 carlories today and I'm still hungry!   Man, I love hiking!!!  Tonight is the last night in MA.  Tomorrow we will cross over into Vermont or "Ver-mud" as the hiker refer to it.    

We are seeing a lot of southbounders now.  All of them are excited to be out of Maine and New Hampshire.   Well it's now 8:00 pm and its only about 20 mins until hiker midnight (dark) and bedtime.
